Thanks Tim for bringing that up :) The previous URLValidator would consider some valid URLs as invalid. That can cause a lot of problems, most people would expect an URL Validator to return some false negatives sometimes (invalid URLs considered valid) but not false positives (valid URLs considered invalid). Furthermore, there are probably a few other projects that depend on Django's URLValidator (http://stackoverflow.com/q/7160737/284318). Therefore I consider the current behavior a bug and would love to see this in Django 1.8.
